When Kevin Owens was shipped off to SmackDown to go it alone as a singles star, fans wondered how it would affect his former tag team partner Sami Zayn. Would the “Underdog from the Underground” have a crisis of confidence without his best friend of 20 years by his side? Or would he find his […]

After finishing up his program with LA Knight and John Cena before the dynamic babyface duo turned their attention to The Bloodline, The Miz needed to find something new to occupy his time within the WWE Universe, at least until the next season of Miz and Mrs. starts to film for Season 4 should the […]

Why is John Cena back in WWE in 2023? Is it to simply collect a paycheck while his union, SAG-AFTRA, is currently on strike? Or is he instead in pursuit of the Intercontinental Championship, the only title keeping him from becoming a Grand Slam Champion in the WWE Universe under the modern rules? No, the […]

LA Knight has been compared to a lot of different Superstars during his time in the WWE; to some, he’s a clone of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Others compare him to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, and others still believe he’s nothing more than The Miz 2.0, even if that faction is largely made up of […]

After getting surprisingly physical on SmackDown in his A-Town Down Under tag team partner Austin’s match with LA Knight, Grayson Waller hit the showers and then the post-show media circuit to see who he could talk to about his goings on. On paper, it makes sense, right? Waller, at least in his presumed opinion, was […]

After watching The Miz earn fantastic reviews for his special interview with “John Cena” on RAW, LA Knight was finally afforded a chance to speak on his Payback opponent and shoot on a man who really wants to but can’t seem to get out of his own way in the pursuit of championship gold. Taking […]

When The Miz invited “John Cena” into the ring for a very special edition of Miz TV, it created an all-time great moment that entertained fans at home almost as much as it angered the fans in North Carolina. After being “cheated” – his words, not anyone elses – out of the win in his […]

When The Miz found himself on the wrong side of a John Cena pin in his long-awaited singles match against LA Knight at Payback, it left the A-Lister in a strange spot. Sure, he could move on, accept the L, and maybe find a new feud to occupy his weekly time on RAW, but come […]

Heading into Payback, few matches had as much hype behind them as LA Knight versus The Miz. Sure, the feud wasn’t as long-lasting as Becky Lynch versus Trish Stratus and wasn’t nearly as personal as the bad blood between the former’s husband and the “King of Strong Style,” Shinsuke Nakamura, but after spending years as […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation, LA Knight and The Miz had to wait just a little bit longer for their match at Payback, as John Cena cut a promo ahead of the second match of the show and let it be known that he was going to be the guest referee for the showdown, […]

What are the ethics of a Superstar like John Cena being a WWE Premium Live Event host? Does he have to swear a vow of impartiality, declaring that he will be neutral on all things and promote the spirit of competition? Or is he instead free to calls it like he sees it, even if […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation, LA Knight and The Miz were afforded one final chance to address the WWE Universe on SmackDown before they go to war at Payback. Finally, after plenty of talking, fans were going to see some action, but not before just a little bit more talking for good measure, something […]

With Payback rapidly approaching, fans of WWE in Tennessee were treated to something special on RAW when, after watching Sami Zayn and Damian Priest work a solid opening match, the music of the “Megastar” hit, and they all started cheering on their favorite performer, LA Knight. … only, it wasn’t LA Knight who appeared in […]

After working over a wonderful match with Finn Balor in a touching tribute to Bray Wyatt, the victorious LA Knight was riding high; he got an incredible reaction from the crowd, cut a fantastic promo that put over Wyatt as much as it buried The Miz, and is now set to ride into Payback in […]

When the story of Bray Wyatt‘s career is written, the final chapter will feature one wrestler extensively: LA Knight. Now granted, the two performers didn’t have much, or really anything in common other than a comfortability on the microphone, as Wyatt’s entire schtick was built around his love of horror movies, cults, and general spookiness, […]

When The Miz made his way over to SmackDown to watch LA Knight wrestle Austin Theory for a future title shot against Rey Mysterio for his United States Championship – totally not interfering in the proceedings along the way – it felt like only a matter of time before the “Megastar” made his way back […]

After taking an absolutely incredible loss to Akira Tozawa with a little help from the “Megastar” LA Knight – a fitting payback from his own match with Austin Theory on SmackDown – The Miz was steaming mad, so much so that he actually reached out to WWE’s officiating crew to see make sure they know […]

When Rey Mysterio and Santos Escobar walked down to the ring to serve as the latest guests on Grayson Waller’s talk show The Grayson Waller Effect, they expected to answer a question or two about Austin Theory, the man the former dethroned to become the United States Champion on RAW but it’s hard to imagine […]

After LA Knight “invaded” RAW to simply take a few pictures as the first-ever winner of the Slim Jim Battle Royal at SummerSlam, The Miz got into it in the ring with the “Megastar” first on the mic and then with his fists, leading to many fans celebrating the promo as a real babyface coming […]

After taking incredible offense to LA Knight being backstage on RAW to take pictures as the new SummerSlam Slim Jim Battle Royal winner, The Miz decided to hold court over an impromptu edition of Miz TV to address the lack of respect he believes he feels from the new crop of WWE Superstars who don’t […]

If there’s one thing Hulk Hogan knows a thing or two about, it’s professional wrestling. A borderline-unflappable member of the WWE Mount Rushmore, Hogan was the biggest star during the most important period of WWE history, and while he moved over to WCW during the mid-90s when “Stone Cold” Steve Austin was running the ship […]

Everywhere Gunther has gone in professional wrestling, he’s made himself into a featured player; he was a star in wXw, a dominant force in Progress, a star in PWG, and the near-unbeatable force in NXT UK, where he held the belt a month short of 900 days before dropping the strap to Ilja Dragunov to […]

On June 19th, 2023, Tommaso Ciampa made his surprise return to the WWE Universe on RAW when he answered his former friend The Miz’s open challenge and promptly kicked the Ohio kid’s booty back to Parma, the town he was born in roughly nine miles away from Cleveland. Finally, back in the ring after nine […]

The Miz is a very busy guy; he’s a WWE Superstar, one of just two two-time Grand Slam Champions in WWE history, the star of Miz and Mrs. on USA Network, and a participant in darn near any celebrity All-Star game that comes his way. And yet, outside of his in-ring responsibilities, The Miz wanted […]

After watching her husband land a match at Summerslam before taking a chair to the face from Finn Balor, Becky Lynch booked herself for a special edition of Miz TV in the hopes of airing out some of her own issues and maybe, just maybe, getting a rubber match of her own at the biggest […]

The Miz has been a member of the WWE Universe for almost 20 years. He’s been a main event star who headlined WrestleMania, and he’s been an opening match performer who famously had to change in the public bathrooms because of the cruel hazing of Chris Benoit and/or JBL, depending on which story you believe. […]

As crazy as it may sound, The Miz is one of the most veteran active in-ring performers on the WWE roster right now. Initially signing up with the company all the way back in 2004, The Miz has wrestled in over 2,000 matches for WWE, according to Cagematch, and has a lengthy list of championship […]

After coming up short in every single match he’s wrestled on WWE television in 2023, The Miz finally landed in the winner’s column on Monday Night RAW when he secured a pinfall victory over Tommaso Ciampa with a little help from Bronson Reed, who was technically allowed to help out in the no-disqualifications match. Stopping […]

After exchanging words and blows for weeks now, The Miz and Tommaso Ciampa have seemingly said all they need to say in the lead-up to a No Disqualifications match on RAW. One way or another, this feud will be finished, and if the WWE Universe is lucky, bother performers will move on to bigger and […]

After taking an absolute beating at the hands of the “A-Lister” on the previous edition of RAW, Tommaso Ciampa had something to say to The Miz and didn’t want to risk watering down his message due to the time constraints of television, so, as he’s become accustomed to doing, the “Blackheart” took to social media […]

The Miz is an Ohio institution. Sure, he’s technically billed from Hollywood, California when he walks down to the ring on Monday Night RAW, as, like many WWE Superstars, the professional grappler turned in snowy winters for more temperate climates that the affluent lifestyle can provide, but still, the pride of Parma, Ohio will shout […]

In professional wrestling, an untimely injury can ruin a push indefinitely; it happened to Finn Balor seven years ago after his match with Seth Rolllins at SummerSlam, to Tommaso Ciampa just after his loss to Austin Theory in a Harley Race-themed match for the United States Championship, and potentially happened to “The Visionary” too, when […]

Given that WWE wrestlers are often on the road traveling from one city to another, it’s certainly a demanding work schedule. And with wrestlers often traveling together, it’s not a surprise that some of them may fall in love with each other. For this piece, let’s rank the 10 greatest wrestling couples. 10. Johnny Gargano […]

After besting The Miz in a surprisingly hard-hitting match on RAW, Ricochet has officially punched his ticket to Money in the Bank, where he will take part in the show’s eponymous Ladder Match alongside Shinsuke Nakamura and four other Superstars to be decided over the next few weeks. Stopping by RAW Talk to discuss his […]

With eight picks in the books for the WWE Draft, including the RAW Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair, heading to SmackDown, and the Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, heading to RAW alongside the rest of Imperium, JBL and Teddy Long were tasked with announcing the picks in Round 3 and providing – spoiler alert – seven performers with […]

How, you may wonder, has Logan Paul been able to acclimate so smoothly to the wrestling world, to the point where he might just be the most consistently amazing big-match wrestler in all of WWE? Well, as he noted in an interview with Ariel Helwani of BT Sport on WrestleMania weekend, the WWE Universe, and […]

WrestleMania 39 is the most successful WrestleMania of all time. WWE announced that the two-night spectacle was the highest-grossing event in the company’s history. 161,892 fans were in attendance at SoFi Stadium over the two nights, and WWE set new records for viewership, gate, sponsorship, merchandise, and social media interaction. Besides being a commercial success, […]

You know what? You really have to feel for The Miz; not only did he get attacked by not one but two different WWE opponents at WrestleMania 39 – technically four if you count George Kittle and Snoop Dogg – but he lost of incredibly expensive suit in the process, too. So naturally, when The […]

For the second night in a row, The Miz and Snoop Dogg got into a bit of an argument after announcing the attendance numbers for WrestleMania 39. The Miz, understandably, didn’t like that “The Doggfather” booked him into a match despite being dressed in a “$10,000 suit” – a match made all the worse by […]
